Ms Whitefield is the former Labour MSP for Airdrie and Shotts who lost out to SNP candidate Alex Neil in the 2011 Scottish election which saw the SNP achieve an historic majority.

Controversy surrounded her campaign when she claimed to have opposed her party's plans to close the Accident and Emergency unit at the local Monklands hospital in North Lanarkshire.

However it later emerged that on two separate occasions Ms Whitefield had failed to vote against the closure, once failing to even turn up, whilst in another the Labour MSP voted against a motion calling for her party to re-examine the planned closure.

The former Labour MSP was accused of making similar false allegations when, during the same campaign, she claimed that the local Monkland’s hospital had received no investment in four years and had "fewer beds ... fewer nurses ... and fewer staff" as a result.

Her claims were shot down when the health board listed millions of pounds of investment it had made at the hospital and detailed increases in the number of patients treated and staff employed.

In another controversial incident, Whitefield came under pressure to resign from her role as shadow minister for Children and Early Years after it emerged she had sent letters to local primary seven children after receiving personal details that had been obtained from school databases.

Sounds like she'll fit right in.
